A small fire was snuffed out quickly late Thursday in the basement of a downtown Easton restaurant.

Fire officials said a worker at Pearly Baker's Ale House, 11 Centre Square, used a fire extinguisher to stop the fire, which occurred in the area of a water heater exhaust fan around 9:45 p.m. No injuries were reported.

Deputy Fire Chief John Bast said the fire is not suspicious. Code officials will inspect the fire area today, he said. David Shusterman, sous chef at the restaurant, said he expected the restaurant will be open today.
